As the month of November comes to an end for the Flyers, the team returns home with another losing streak in double digits with no end in sight. For the next five games, the team will be at home, where another record losing streak looms.
To avoid an 11th straight loss, the Flyers will need to find a way against the team they faced on Saturday in their 10th straight defeat. The New York Islanders are in town to complete a home-and-home.
Game time is at 7:30 p.m.
